2013-09-25developer-guidelines.sgml: Normalize spellingHolger Weiss1-10/+10
- Write "plugin" instead of "plug-in". - Write "development guidelines" instead of "developer guidelines" - Capitalize "Nagios Plugin Development Guidelines".
2013-08-27developer-guidelines.sgml: Update copyright yearHolger Weiss1-3/+3
We touched the Development Guidelines this year.
2013-08-22developer-guidelines.sgml: Multiline outputHolger Weiss1-8/+20
Document the multiline output format properly. Thanks to Jochen Bern for providing this patch.
2013-08-21developer-guidelines.sgml: Allow special value "U"Holger Weiss1-1/+2
Allow a literal "U" to be specified in place of an actual value within the performance data string. An "U" corresponds to RRDtool's "UNKNOWN" value; i.e., it's meant to indicate that data acquisition failed for some reason. PNP4Nagios already supports this extension.
2013-08-21removed duplicate entrySven Nierlein1-4/+0
2012-12-03Table 4 example 5 updatedpalli1-1/+1
Description did not specify that it condition is critical if "stuff" is less than zero.
2012-12-03Description for table4 example7palli1-2/+2
My original patch was based on the online version which was apparently out of date. In the meantime someone changed the description of example7 instead of the example. I think this is better because otherwise example 6 and 7 are basically the same.
2012-12-03Bugfix, fixed a broken command-line examplePall Sigurdsson1-2/+2
The last example in the table contradicted the previous example. Surely it's purpose was to showcase the @ behaviour to invert threshold, but the @ sign was missing. I also clarified the description to the second last example so it is in same style as the others.
2010-03-15Corrected exampleTon Voon1-1/+1
2009-11-18Update developer guideline regarding CVS CommitsThomas Guyot-Sionnest1-2/+2
(mostly for testing my snapshot script, though it had to be updated anyway)
2009-09-24Updated documentation re: no equals sign and single quoteTon Voon1-2/+2
2009-07-17Updated links for exchange.nagios.orgTon Voon1-2/+2
2009-05-19Talk about Git instead of CVSHolger Weiss1-13/+13
Update the Developer Guidelines to reflect the fact that our development is done using Git instead of CVS these days (as noted by Chris Pepper on the "nagiosplug-devel" list). While at it, apply another few minor cleanups. Signed-off-by: Holger Weiss <holger@zedat.fu-berlin.de>
2009-05-19Remove comments regarding former requirementsHolger Weiss1-8/+0
Don't explain why Libtool and Gettext are no longer needed. Libtool actually is a requirement, as (at least) the M4 macros provided by Libtool are needed for our Autotools setup. And the fact that Gettext is no longer needed probably isn't that interesting for new developers. Signed-off-by: Holger Weiss <holger@zedat.fu-berlin.de>
